Crash MotoGP Podcast

Amy Reynolds is joined by Peter McLaren and Lewis Duncan to discuss all of the action from the Malaysian Grand Prix, as the paddock has been plunged into chaos over its plans to race in Qatar. 19 of the 22 riders signed a letter to MotoGP stating they do not want to race in Qatar, while Yamaha has made the bold decision to withdraw both of its teams. It's a move that has angered MotoGP, who is now threatening sanctions on the Japanese brand. With just days to go until the race, will it even happen? And what will happen if the conflict in the region escalates while MotoGP is on the ground? It's all overshadowing what could be an historic weekend for Marc Marquez, who is now 44 points clear in the championship and has a chance to win his eighth MotoGP world title in Qatar.

Amy Reynolds is joined by Peter McLaren and Lewis Duncan to discuss all of the action from the Indonesian Grand Prix. Jorge Martin holds onto a slender MotoGP points lead over Marc Marquez, but Aprilia comes away from a weekend in which it dominated the main race with a 1-2-3-4 that can only be considered a missed opportunity. And Marquez, on his worst track, piled the pressure on Martin to the point where he made a huge mistake in the sprint. With just five rounds to go and two points in it, Aprilia must now get drastic and consider team orders to give Martin every opportunity possible to beat Marquez. The team also discuss the new-for-2027 format that was announced ahead of the Indonesian GP. It was not received well by riders or fans; Amy, Pete and Lewis question the motivation behind it and argue that it won't be a major difference-maker for MotoGP. Hosted on Acast.

Dre Harrison and Pete McLaren sit down to review a wild weekend at Brno for the Czech GP (Don’t worry, Lewis is back next week, he’s on holiday) The weekend was dominated by Marco Bezzecchi being banned from the Grand Prix after striking a marshal during a crash in the Sprint Race.
